Possible side effects of medication

Parkinson's is a complex illness that in some instances may include behavioral or psychological symptoms as well as affecting movement. These feelings are related to the condition and may be exacerbated in some instances by the medications used to manage Parkinson's.

The Client Services Team at Parkinson's Victoria is aware of the challenges that these symptoms can cause and additional information on them may be found at the following links.
